spritze db question

Hi there.
I downloaded the Spritze DB a few weeks ago and I am very impressed by your level of detail - Im sure a great deal of work went into it and I thank you.

When i first tried to make a 1987 historical season , i selected neutralized stats. I couldn't figure out why the defense numbers were all screwed up (Mike Greenwell at 3B, Chili Davis at C, Jose Canseco at 3B, most outfielders 0 ratings.

Anyway, i did some forum crawling and discovered I needed to use real stats. So, i gave up the season i had already gotten half way into, and reloaded with real stats.

Defense numbers are much better, but still something doesnt seem right. Almost every outfielder now has a "10" defense rating, a rare few may have 11.

Ozzie Smith has a "5" defensive rating?
The positions are now correct for the most part but the fact that nobody at any position has a rating much more than 11 or 12 makes me question if I did something wrong again. jesse barfield has a 20 arm in the default database, but in this one he's a 10 or 11 arm just like every other outfielder.

This isn't a knock, its a lot better than I could have done, and I appreciate whats gone into it. If this is the way it is, fine. But I'd like to just confirm that I've done things correctly.

Thanks!
